NI Package Builder - Specify Dependencies from Disk and/or Feed

Submitted by Member on ‎03-03-2021 05:40 PM Comment

Right now I can only add package dependencies that are either 

(a) Currently Installed

(b) In the solution being created

 

It would be extremely useful to:

(a) Select a package dependency from disk

(b) Select a package from a currently registered feed

 

On a development system, I often DON"T want to actually install the packages i'm developing, and if I have several related "solutions" I need a way to define dependency relationship between them.

 

Right now I either have to develop everything in the same solution (which means every time I build, it builds everything), or am forced to install the packages that I want to include as dependencies.... neither of which are desirable behaviors
